v0.12.0

Venat v0.12.0

Status: Released

Released on 2026-07-31.

Project identity

Hydaelyn is now Venat. The canonical repository, Go module, root package, and
CLI move together:

Old	New
Viking602/go-hydaelyn	Viking602/venat
github.com/Viking602/go-hydaelyn	github.com/Viking602/venat
package hydaelyn	package venat
cmd/hydaelyn / hydaelyn	cmd/venat / venat

This is a pre-v1 breaking module-path change. v0.12.0 does not provide an old
import-path shim or duplicate CLI. Existing go-hydaelyn releases remain under
their immutable historical tags.

Skill configuration migration

Conventional skill discovery now scans .venat/skills. When the old
.hydaelyn/skills directory exists, discovery emits a diagnostic asking the
user to move it; the two directories are not merged implicitly. Explicit
additional skill directories are unchanged.

Persisted skill protocol values remain backward compatible:

• hydaelyn_activate_skill
• hydaelyn_read_skill_resource
• hydaelyn.skill.context

These values may already exist in transcripts and external tool allowlists, so
they are intentionally not rebranded.

Upgrade

go get github.com/Viking602/venat@v0.12.0
go install github.com/Viking602/venat/cmd/venat@v0.12.0
go mod tidy

Update the root import qualifier from hydaelyn to venat, change CLI
invocations to venat, and move .hydaelyn/skills to .venat/skills. See the
v0.11 to v0.12 migration notes
and ADR-019.
